I've heard that this game is supposed to be pretty rare, is this true?

It's just that I managed to find a copy today after a bit of snoopin around the second hand shops, and the guy said it was a pretty hard game to find, but is it really all that rare?

I figured it a good purchase considering all the Michael Jackson hype going on just now, not bad for 4 quid though.

I find 'Moonwalker' funny - the aim of the game is to help kids.... Funny how things work out.

I love his little kicky movements on the game. yay!

Yea, you just hold down the A button for ages, when you do the big move it takes about 75% of YOUR health off as well!! But fortunately it doesn't take long to regain health.

I played that game, there is a move where you can get all the bad guys dancing, and then you pull a killer move which they try to copy and die.

Well, I finally got rouind to setting up the Mega Drive today and had a go at this game.

It's actually pretty damn fun to play, it plays like Streets of Rage, but instead of just punching and kicking, you can do some pretty smart stuff. You can do little spins and those leg flicks that MJ does, you can throw your hat and you can Moonwalk all the way through the level if you want. Also, if there are a tonne of bad guys, just hold in the A button and MJ will start dancing, then the baddies join in and dance to exhaustion. It has proper songs in it too, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, Thriller etc.

Even if it is rare, I'm gonna keep it cos it's great fun. I played it for hours.

If anyone has a MegaDrive, you should look out for a copy.

Its for the Megadrive, it has a case and a manual. I just thought it may be a good little investment.

I'll see how things work out, but if it is really really rare, I would rather keep it for my collection.
